[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 2822339, member: 40076"] Oh i wish you had been my GM... My Evil GM (Who i will never run out of things to kvetch about) Had a room set up where each and every single space was occupied by Executioner statues (Each statue a CR 5 trap, the room was 30x25, so there were about 30 of them, and we were level 6, effective encounter level for that many traps: 15.) At the very far back of the room was a chest being held by a golden executioner statue. Attempting to approach the statues netted being hit by 3 seperate 1d12+8 Executioner's axes (which [u]allways[/u] hit, according to him). so my rogue couldn't even ATTEMPT the DC 25 search to turn them off. Furthermore, the DM had his immortal NPC toss a lightning bolt into the room as a way of telling us that the statues were immune to magic (he used the 2.0 "lightning bolts riccochet" rules). So finally, I opted out of one of the combats that the rest of the party was running, and went to investigate the room further. Only one entrance, at least, only one I could see. So i started just messing around. I lassoed one of the statues with a sucessful "use rope" check. The statue didn't react... I threw a spear at one of the statues with no reaction on it's part. So I tied my grappling hook off to my rope and threw that at one of the statues, it hit, right in the face... no reaction. Then i threw my grappling hook at the chest. Snagged it, with no reaction from the baddies. But i wasn't strong enough to pull it out... So I went back and asked everyone else, we got together and pulled out of the grip of the golden executioner statue... and as we were dragging it across the floor, the GM realized what I had done, and had one of the previously inanimate Executioner statues react, and chop the rope in half. I hated him sooo much. [/QUOTE]
